Major progress has recently been made in understanding the aging process at the molecular, cellular, and organ system levels. This knowledge is now being applied in preventative and interventional health care. Moreover, because of the severe burden of age-related diseases on societies governments are increasingly developing strategies to extend health span throughout their populations. In this episode Professor Brian Kennedy at the National University of Singapore provides a broad perspective on the field of aging research and its translation into actionable countermeasures. He talks about emerging research on 'metabolic aging clocks' and their applications to personalized anti-aging strategies. His experiences in Singapore are particularly enlightening.
